Starting October 1st, Waste Management (WM) will no longer service non-Borough of Allentown or WM trash carts. Here is the subscription service information for anyone who would like to sign up for an additional cart.
Per the current waste collection contract between Waste Management (WM) and the Borough of Allentown, residents are entitled to and have been provided one (1) 96-gallon black, Borough of Allentown waste cart to be serviced one time per week.
The Borough has asked WM and we have agreed to provide an additional cart to residents who require/want additional waste disposal capacity. WM will provide an additional green WM identified 96-gallon cart for a monthly fee. This cart will be a green WM cart that will be serviced along with the Borough of Allentown carts when placed at the curb on the regularly scheduled collection day.
Cost for this additional cart and service is $20.00 per month.
Residents can call WM at 800-869-5566 and identify themselves as a residential customer in Allentown Borough, NJ, under the following municipal account:
502-58044 ALLENTOWN BORO (NJ)-SERVICE 8 N MAIN ST
The resident should indicate that they wish to obtain an additional cart (WM) for their address. Note that when calling in, your service address may already be in our system, but the billing information may need to be updated.
Resident will need to confirm:
a. their “bill to” name
b. their service address
c. their billing address
d. arrangements for payment (credit or debit card preferred)
Once this is completed, WM will arrange delivery of the WM cart, and it will be serviced on the regular Allentown collection day when placed at the curb.
Residents are reminded of the following:
- Effective October 1, 2024, WM will no longer service privately owned carts or containers. Only Borough of Allentown provided carts and WM provided carts are eligible for municipally sponsored collection and disposal services.
2. Waste in excess of what fits in your cart(s) should be held until the following week collection.
3. Bulk waste is collected one time per quarter on dates specified. It cannot be put at curb for collection any other time.
4. This additional cart service is not for temporary or event usage, but for those who regularly need more than the Borough provided 96-gallon cart service.
